Hi Gabita. Try not to let the numbers on the scale get to you, I don't think they gown down fast enough for any of us! You did say you "feel smaller" and, to me, that is far more important than any scale reading.

Keep up the good work, it is so worth it!

@@gabita I was having .5-.7 lbs loss everyday which was awesome to see but for 2 days it has gone the other way! I was down 5.5 from surgery then yesterday up a little and today up a little. I even did yard work one day and went to the gym (walked slow in treadmill) yesterday but it went up. This is the wake up call I knew was coming....this isn't a magic trick. It will be a long road of eating right and exercise, utilizing our new tool.

I started off with a little fill, she starts you at 2 cc in the OR. I do feel full after 4 oz of food. I'm only on liquids though so it only last about 3 hours.

Hang in there!! This will get better and your numbers will drop. For now Celebrate the non scale victories....I had a coupon for Kohls so I got a shirt a size smaller then usual....when I got home it fit!!! That's better then a number on a scale!

Greetings,

I went in on May 27 for my first fill. I lost 9 pounds in the past month and I'm doing ok with satiety after eating my meals. Also, I felt a tad uncomfortable eating white meat chicken a week previous to the appt. Based on all of this, the nurse who does fills at my surgeon's office recommended, and I agreed, that we would hold off on doing a fill. I'll go back in another month and we will see where we are at that time.

So far, so good. :)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
